NASCAR has rejected a sponsorship deal between driver Brandon Brown and the meme cryptocurrency LGBcoin. LGB references "Let's Go Brandon." A NASCAR official confirmed it: "No form of this derogatory and vulgar euphemism will be allowed ..." So, even NASCAR has limits. Who knew?

Although NASCAR did the right thing, it's mortifying that there's a company who uses that euphemism in its name, and especially mortifying that a driver would have moved forward with it, had NASCAR not rejected it.

(50,562 posts)I was THINKING about going to Sonoma for this years race. I want to see a race with the new car, and Sonoma is an extremely nice speedway. But I was also planning to go to at least one Mets game and one Yankees game. (I got the strangest call last year
I have been assigned a Personal Assistant by the Mets, and Ive only ever been to one Mets game in my life. I checked the number he used, and it belongs to the Mets so either theres a really good scammer out there or I really got called by the Mets, and since he wasnt asking for any money and sounded pretty authentic I suspect it really was the Mets on the line.) Its doable, but a little hectic.
Well
between NASCAR banning Confederate flags, NASCAR banning LGB on the side of Brandon Browns car and Sonoma being so close to San Francisco I feel that race should be almost completely Trumpist-free, so Ill fly into Kennedy on Tuesday, get my baseball fix, fly to SFO on Friday, do Alcatraz and Amoeba Records on Saturday, and head to the track on Sunday. Itll be great.
What would really ruin the Trumpists lives is if President Biden invited Brandon Brown to the White House. He seems like a decent enough kid.

What a dolt!
